Some Gifted Women Happily and I'm
happily Mated.
1t used to be argued as against permission
for women to use or to assert their intellec-
tual faculties that wherever there existed in
stances of women with superior intelligence,
learning or gifts, there were also as accom-
paniments to each one fthe instances, just SO
many wretched wives, dissatisfied husbands
and unhappy homes. The natural corollary
of this statement was that women, if they
found themselves possessed of extraordinary
talents, should simply quench them forever,
or else use their talents as they would coal,
merely to make the hearth bright for the
benefit of husbands and children. Mrs.

as in section of large nest there were
many evidences of design. In one nest
made up of perhaps five bushels of
leaves, twigs, moss, acorns, ETC., the sec
ton presented about the appearance
shown in the accompanying figure. The
extreme upper portion of the nest seemed
to be given up as a storeroom, and was
filled with acorns of all kinds available,
corncobs, wheat and various objects,
many of which must have been brought
from a considerable distance.
Directly beneath this storeroom was
the nest proper, which consisted of an
apartment about eighteen inches across
and six inches high, completely filled
with mass of vegetable fibre, as soft as
wool, and evidently intended as the nest
of the young rather than living room
for the adults.
From this room a number of tunnels
extended, leading upward, downward,
and out in various directions. In
fact, the matter of suitable retreat was
so carefully attended to that it was al
most impossible to catch an occupant in
the nest, though | used good dog in
the effort. In one nest opened, sub
terranean passage led away, evidencing
an escape. There was no great SINH
larity in the construction of nests In
some the plan was as indicated. in
others the position of rooms would be
reversed, but in all the nest was nd.

The Danish temperance movement has
now an army of 5000 total abstainers.
The endowments of the Established
Church of England yield an annual income of
fS,000,0OO, or about $40,O000O0.
In Great Britain there are $1,000 tenn
perance organizations, and it is estimated that
100000 persons are total abstainers.
There is a hope that the bill for the
closing of drinking places in England on Sun
day will pass Parliament this session.
The American Bible Society reports
the entire circulation for the year ended
March 81 at 1,447,270 volumes, of which 521 1856
were distributed in foreign lands.
In fourteen years 700 Protestant chap

Monsignor Perisco, the Papal legate to
Ireland, has in his time played many parts.
He belongs to the order of Capucins, and is
perfect English scholar. He has been in
Tartary, Thibet, and Afghanistan. At Oar
jeeling he founded and directed a college, and
was the Roman Catholic chaplain of the British
troops. He succeeded in healing the Indo-
Portuguese schism in 1853 and obtained CON
siderable concessions from the English govern
ment. During the Indian mutiny he was made
prisoner and confined in the fortress of Agra.
He returned to Europe, and collected large
sums to repair the losses the missions in India
had sustained. In 1859 he was again sent on
mission to London connected with Catholic in
terests. In 1868 Plus TX sent him to South
Carolina to pacify the people, who were ex
cited by the civil war. He took part in the
Ecumcncal Council, going afterward to
Malabar to settle serious dispute. Now he
goes to Ireland to investigate the condition of
things there.

passage at his expense With both these
requests she complied, and many of her
friends made extensive preparations for
the voyage. They had gathered at the
Astor House, New York, on the day
fixed for sailing, when the astounding
denouement was finally made. The
young lady had been acting her own
part as well as that of her lover. She
had written letters to herself as well as
to him, and was totally unconscious,
when in one condition, of what had oc-
CURED in the other, and only when sur
rounded by her friends ready to embark,
and finding herself penniless, did she
finally awake to her condition of self
deception.
AS for an explanation of all this, none
has as yet been reached but that with
which many French scientists satisfy
themselves is connected with the func-
tions of The two hemispheres of the brain.
As is ger orally known, these two hemis-
pheres are connected by mass of white
matter, known as the corpus caAOsum.
The right hemisphere is the seat of all
nerve centres connected with the left
side of the body, and of the left hemis
phere the opposite is true-that is, the
nerves connected with the right side of
fore, easy to understand that when one
side of the brain is in any way injured,
paralysis follows on the opposite side
of the body. Certain experiments
have shown, however, that one may
recover the use of the paralyzed
limb, although the injury to the half
brain may remain unhealed From this
it has been concluded that one hemis-
phere of the brain has taken up the
functions of the other, and is quite
sufficient to perform the functions of
both. Some even go so far as to say
that we have two brains" or 1.-TWO
minds" each represented by one hemis-
phere of the brain. They then argue
that while in the normal condition these
two brains act in harmony and do not
conflict, as soon as sufficient cause arises
to interfere with this harmonious action
leach BRAIN" then, represents separate
and complete mind, and double per-
sonality" ensues.
But in addition to scientific considera-
tons which would vitiate this theory, it
fails to account for case of "multiplex
personality" mentioned by Mr. Frederic
Myers in arecent article in the Nineteenth
Century, in which the individual was sub
ject to five or six instead of two changes.
The trouble is said to be superinduced
by the extravaganza use of Indian hemp,
but more often results from constant
brooding. How many of us do not at
some time argue with our bitter selves,
or moralize with our worse? This is but
mild form of the phenomenon, but at
present we could find more interest in a
scientific explanation of its cause than
tame exposition of its manifestation.

perceptibly injuring it or destroying its
contour.
The most remarkable stories are told
by woodsmen and miners concerning
these little creatures. Their curiosity
appears to be unbounded, and every
article of peculiar shape that can be car
ried is taken to the nest. In one
opened by me on the ranch of friend,
about a thousand yards from a house,
were found many objects evidently taken
in the night. Bits of blue glass, oddly
formed sticks and twigs, corncobs, minus
the corn, nails, part of an old brush, a
button, pieces of paper, cloth, and the
cover of an old sardine can constituted
part of the bric-a-brac collection of this
curious little creature. A lady informed
me that when they were camping in the
mountains some years ago her husband
brought up from the town bag of grain,
and left it in the room. In the morning
when he attempted to put his top boots
on he found them nearly full of grain.
The wood rats had been busily employed
during the night in making the transpor
tation, and the curious part of it was
that none had been carried away.
A settler in this valley (San GabrieD,
who had place some distance from
other houses, was much perpleXed by the
loss OF small articles, so he determined
to watch but under the closest scrutiny

porter in the city comes around to see If

DEVILS Lake is not the pond that the swine

but 1t differs in many other respects.

boom that is going on there; but Dakota
lops over it by the rod. Let me tell you
something about my home-Devips Lake
for instance.
You probably don't know that Devils
Lake began with population of 500 souls
Well, it did, and it was the wonder of the age
1t has now 5000.
1T was in 81 that an Eastern man lai
out town site about three miles south o.
the present city. Another man, Westerner
got onto the fact and plated a town wher
the city is now located.
when he did this he made trail over
land, so that the caravans would come by hi
place on their prospecting tour. Then h.
went east as far as Larimore OAK, ant
waited. In week or two whole town
came along in wagons, and the town-sitel
led them on to where he located. Up there
they carry their own houses ready to put to
gether when they arrive at their destination.
and these travellers arrived at DEVILS Lake
after dark one night.
LAS true as you're there, next morning
there was a town on the prairies. The 10
Gator was a millionaire next day. The Mani
toba road helped him along.

the articles continued to disappear, and
he was beginning to think that he was
surrounded by some peculiar agencies,
when he saw wood rat dragging some
thing across the floor one night, and by
keeping the doors shut was relieved
from the pest The wood rats are not
common enough here to be of any special
menace to the farmer, and require but
little work to drive them away. 1t is
generally sufficient to burn the nest, and
if there is any underground burrow to
flood it. @. +. HOLDER.

with the gophers do considerable dam
age. have never run one in or on
tree in any way, and in this locality at
least they confine themselves strictly to
the ground, and in this way many are
drowned out during the rainy season. In
the early winter of 1885, what is popu
larly termed "cloud burst" occurred
in the mountains just above the ranch
at which l was staying. The amount of
rain that fell was enormous, and twenty
miles away it affected streams so that they
carried away houses, bridges and other
valuable property. The mesa, or plain, at
the foot of the Sierra Madres range
was, naturally, completely flooded; and
over some spots the water was foot
deep, while in other localities where The
ground was softer it cut enormous crew
asses, large enough to have buried
house. Naturally, such flood was fol-
lowed by great loss of life among the
burrowers, and two days after the rain,
when the streams had subsidized suffi-
GENTLY for me to ford the canon with my
horse, made tour of investigation of
the plains. That a catastrophe had oc-
Cured was very evident, as flocks of omi
nous buzzards were soaring high in air,
occasionally descending upon the field.
Approaching the birds, l found that they
were feasting upon the bodies of squir-
rels, gophers, snakes and lizards. The
squirrels were in the majority; great
numbers were strewn over the plain, and
[ doubt if any animals in wide radius
survived the flood, while probably many
badgers were drowned in their holes, thus
being buried by the mud and gravel of
the wash.
The wood rats, from their habit of
living in the mountains partly or wholly
in trees, escaped the flood and none were
found destroyed. The species common
in California is NeOtOnsa suscipes, hand
some little animal somewhat resembling
a large house rat. In the East the
Florida wood rat is common. Its fur
is extremely soft, lustrous and silky;
pure white on the lower surface of the
body and tail, the feet being white also.
The upper portion of the body is colored
a yellowish brown, with slightly
darker dorsal area, the tint of the TANKS
being somewhat brighter. The young
are white and slate gray. This species
is about nine inches long, the tail about

them; and in fields where there are
fine live oak trees hundreds may be
seen running about or sitting on their
mounds, the result of the excavations,
and unless the observer was looking
for them, and had previously OBJ
served them, they would readily be
passed by, so remarkable is their MINI
icry, or rather resemblance to the soil and
dried grass. l have often been deceived
by them, taking standing squirrel for a
mound of earth. While the settlement
of the country has driven them out
to certain extent, they are very COM
mon about Los Angeles, and in early
mornings may be seen running along
hedge rows in the dusty roads, and

six; in fact, In form and color the rat
calls to mind the white-footed mouse
In the California species already re-
ferred to, the feet are duskier, the tail
longer and darker Another species,
Mcdonnell terruginea, is found in Mexico
and Central America. 1t resembles very
much the former, but is smaller and
richer in color, being rusty red.
Nearly all the wood rats are remarka-
BILE for their curious nests, and for GER
tain actions, certainly the result of Curl
osity. l have examined many nests in
the Sierra range, from the level of the
foot of the range to much higher alti-
tude. The majority were built of leaves
and twigs, interlaced so strongly that in
some instances it was almost impossible
to tear them apart. Often the shoots from
the base of tree would be woven into the
nest or used as centre pole. In the
construction of the nest it was evident
that while from the outside, and even
from a superficial examination, it APP
peared to be thrown together in care
less way, this was not always the case,

Twelve and Thirteen-dollar
Suits for gentlemen we have
ever seen. They come both
in sack and cutaway styles,
perfect fitting, thoroughly
well made and all wool.
These goods would readi-
ly sell at higher prices, but
our aim is not to figure on
how high a price a suit will
bring, but how low it's posi-
BILE to sell it. Suits such as
we refer to can only be sold
at the prices we name, when
as in this case-they are
manufactured by the distrib.
utor and handled in large
quantities. Large sales are
the results Of small profits
just as surely as small profits
beget large sales. There are
about fifty different patterns
among these suits. Plain
and fancy colors, plaids, pin
checks, stripes, checks and
broken plaids.
